The number of people working from home increased [roughly] 20 percent in 2003—and rose to 24 percent in 2015. Concurrent with the findings of the previous surveys on longer hours, the American Time Use Survey reveals that the average time employed persons spent working at home on days they worked increased by 40 minutes from 2.6 hours to 3.2 hours.

In certain industries such as accounting, law, consulting, or at startups in general, that balance is assumed to be impossible. The 80-hour workweek people complain [that] there’s no time for everything else.

For some, the occasional Friday spent working from home can lessen the stressors of an otherwise maddening workweek, but it isn’t the only way to achieve work/life balance.

From Fast Company, here are a few ways to help you stay sane when days are dragging and there just isn’t time to unwind or unplug:

Manage clients’ expectations: Flexibility is a team sport. Clients can be assured that someone will be available 24/7, but the people covering that availability will shift.

Make work more fun: Invest in the relationshipsand projects you enjoy. Doing so will help pass the time.

Make the most of your weekends/vacation time: Instead of spending every weekend on the couch, make a loose plan of fun activities. Doing so will help motivate you throughout the week.
